Why LA Pipes Fail

Roots, quakes, and hard water

🌳

Root Intrusion

LA's old clay sewer pipes are easily penetrated by tree roots (especially Ficus trees), causing massive backups.

OUR SOLUTION:

Hydro-jetting, trenchless sewer repair

⚠️

Earthquake Valves

Seismic gas shutoff valves are required in LA. They can trip accidentally or need resetting after a tremor.

OUR SOLUTION:

Valve reset, installation, inspection

🪨

Hard Water Scale

Southern California has very hard water that destroys tankless water heaters and faucets.

OUR SOLUTION:

Descaling flush, water softener installation

📍

Copper Pinholes

Chloramines in LA water supply eat away at copper pipes, causing pinhole leaks in walls and slabs.

OUR SOLUTION:

PEX repiping, epoxy lining

Common Questions

What is a slab leak?

A slab leak is a pipe leak underneath the concrete foundation of your home. Signs include a warm spot on the floor, high water bills, or the sound of running water when everything is off. We use electronic listening devices to find it.

Why do my drains keep clogging?

In LA, it's almost always tree roots growing into old clay sewer lines. Snaking only punches a small hole. We recommend hydro-jetting to cut the roots out completely and restore flow.

Do I need an earthquake shutoff valve?

It is highly recommended and often required upon sale of a home in Los Angeles. It automatically shuts off your gas during a major seismic event, preventing fires and explosions.
